You may be wondering, "Why did someone design an alternative head and neck restraint?" The answer is simple: to improve on the design, comfort and safety provided by one of the most important pieces of safety equipment you are requiredto purchase. Here's a brief summary of the improvements Necksgen has incorporated into the design (many more are listed below):

Comfort: The REV takes comfort to a new level... there is no frontal yoke, with no pressure on your body or collar bone. Our low profile design gives full range of head motion with no front or rear interference with your helmet.

Lateral/Angular Impact Protection: Due to the placement and angle of the lower tether mount, the NecksGen REV unit offers unsurpassed lateral and angular impact protection.

Clearance: The REV has a low profile design which creates minimal interference with the seat and helmet in the driving position.

Single Tether: The single self-aligning helmet tether creates full range of head motion while driving and offers maximum side impact protection.

The NecksGen REV units are designed and made in the USA, using the latest carbon fiber composite Dupont material. Not only are these materials lightweight, but they are extremely strong.

All NecksGen head and neck restraints have passed the mandated SFI 38.1 testing procedures. Due to the innovative features of the designs, the NecksGen head and neck restraints have surpassed our expectations in test results.

SFI 38.1 Certification

Offers lateral-impact protection in addition to frontal impact protection through its tension-neutralizing tether

The shoulder and collarbone padding provide added comfort to the unit.

4. Winglets

Large adult units can accept 2” or 3” seat belts. Small unit accepts 2" belts only. The wings aid in keeping your harness in place under impact. Even in multiple impact situations where the belts could loosen.

5. Tension Neutralizing Tether

Using a proprietary single tension-neutralizing tether (TNT), the loads under impact are distributed through four different load paths. This unique system offers an equal distribution of forces under impact. This system also offers a full range of head motion and side and angular impact protection.

6. Low Profile Design

The low profile design makes egress in and out of the car in an emergency easier

Helmet Hardware Questions:

Q: Does the NecksGen REV come with a Quick Release helmet hardware?A: Yes, included in the price for $599 you get Quick Release helmet hardware.

Q: Is the Quick Release hardware easy to use?A: Yes, to release from the helmet, simply pull the quick release tether and tilt your head forward or turn from side to side..

Q: Will I need to drill my helmet?A: If you have a new SAH2010 helmet or a pre-drilled helmet, it is ok to use these.

Q: What do I do if my helmet has been drilled?A: The NecksGen will work using those holes! Simply install the Quick Release helmet hardware using the backing plate (washer nut). You will have to unscrew the backing plate from the helmet hardware (backing plate is screwed to the QR helmet hardware when you buy it). The backing plate goes in the inside of your helmet - between the foam and the inside of the helmet.

Tether Questions:

Q: Do I need to adjust my tethers?A: No, the NecksGen tethers come a fixed length which has been predetermined in testing to allow proper protection. However, all helmets are different in design and manufacture, therefore SAH2010 pre-drilled holes may be in different positions. Drivers also have different neck lengths. Some drivers may be able to move their head forward and still not feel the tension of the tethers, this is ok. In the event of an accident, the unit is held back by the seat belts, whereas the body, neck & head will move forward and away from the device. It is at this point, that the tethers will tension up to minimize neck tension.

Seats & Belt/Harness Questions:

Q: Can I use 2” seatbelts with my NG?A: Yes, 2” belts work with all NecksGen units.

Q: Can I use 3” belts with my NecksGen?A: 3" belts work with the NecksGen REV in Large and Medium. However, the NecksGen Small can only accept 2" belts.

Q: What angle should the seat belts be from the mounting point to my shoulders?A: We recommend anywhere from zero to 10 degrees below horizontal of the highest point on the shoulders. Your shoulder belts should pull you slightly down and back as you tighten them.

Q: Why is the NecksGen REV not adjustable?A: The NecksGen REV has no frontal yoke section and therefore does not need any adjustment.

Q: Can my seatbelts come off my shoulders while driving or during and accident?A: The NecksGen REV has upper belt guides that will keep a secure belt on at all times.

Very good i like it

Necksgen
From Felix of Metairie, Louisiana on 4/17/2014.

I bought one of these Necksgen devices from WR a few months back and have been using it for DE's. It's very comfortable and works well with the shoulder harnesses of my 6-point belts. The side straps allow enough head movement to look around upcoming corners, but do seem to limit extreme lateral movements, as intended. Overall I'm very satisfied.
